About this property

3 Gulls & A Buoy: Shore Fun Awaits!

Ready to have a shell of a good time? Welcome to 3 Gulls and A Buoy, your ultimate beach retreat in the heart of Surf City! This buoy-tiful 4-bedroom townhome is perched just one row back from the ocean in the breezy Sandpiper Village community. With local shops, seafood spots, and island vibes just a flip-flop away, it’s the perfect perch for families looking to soak up some sun and good times—without breaking the bank.

Drop anchor in the covered parking area (room for 2 mid-sized vessels—uh, vehicles) and enter with ease thanks to keyless access. Kick off your sandy shoes in the foyer and float upstairs to a reverse floor plan that’s as cozy as it is convenient. Down on the first floor, you’ll find three comfy bedrooms, including a queen suite with private deck access (perfect for gull-watching) and a full bath. Kiddos can crash in the bunk room or snuggle into the double bed in the third room—both sharing a spacious hall bath. There’s even a washer and dryer to keep those beach towels fresh!

Sail up to the third floor for peek-a-boo ocean views and full-on vacation vibes. The sun-soaked living room opens to a roomy ocean-facing deck where you can catch sea breezes or just wave at the waves. With plush seating, a big-screen TV, and WiFi, it’s the ideal space to coast into relaxation. The fully stocked kitchen and unique booth-style dining table mean there’s room for everyone to dine, laugh, and plan the next beach adventure. The final bedroom—fitted with two twin beds—is just past the kitchen, with easy access to a full shared bath.

With private boardwalk beach access just steps away, you’ll be toes-in-the-sand in no time. Whether you're a family of gulls looking to make memories or a buoy crew in need of serious relaxation, 3 Gulls and A Buoy is shore to please. Pack your bags and bring your sense of adventure—it’s time to sea the good life!
